It’s ironic how a word in Latin meaning “no one” is currently affecting everyone in New England. Nemo’s powerful gusts, heavy snow and angry squalls inspired us to concoct a cocktail incorporating potent Ouzo and snow-like crushed ice. When the harsh, Greek anise liquor hits the ice, it turns a stormy gray that mirrors the haze outside. Our concoction is a chilling yet warming beverage worth sipping while snowed in.
